That's a good thought, but was Dinosaur released in 3D? I think they released those other 3 because they were released in 3D while they were in theaters. Then again, I guess that all depends on whether or not Disney plans on releasing more of the DAC's in 3D.

Since Dinosaur is a CG/live action hybrid it would be much easier to post-convert it in 3D rather than a hand-drawn film (if they wished to do so). However, since the movie is rather neglected and underappreciated by the studio, it is doubtful that Disney would bother with it any time soon.

I've been fighting with myself about picking it up or not because I can't stand that dang Blu swoosh they were printing on all the cover arts then.

Dinosaur has been recently reissued as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack without the "shoosh" on the cover art. However, it doesn't come with a slipcover.

If it's that neglected, how come it was Disney's first DAC to hit Blu-Ray?

When it hit Blu-Ray, it wasn't retroactively added to the DAC list yet. It was just a fairly-recent movie that could show off the potential for Blu-Ray. And honestly, I think the only reason Dinosaur and plenty of other Disney "swoosh" titles were re-released as the Blu/DVD combo was to provide a uniformity to all their current releases. All of them share the same "Blu-Ray + DVD" banner, and their tech specs grid and supplement listing are all the same design now.

Plus, these re-releases help to get these older titles re-stocked on store shelves, since they would count as a "new" catalog release as opposed to something still sitting on store shelves from 5 years ago.

Other than that, they likely would never have bothered doing anything to those titles. They still haven't bothered re-releasing any of their Touchstone Blus from 2006/2007 that were swooshy.

Laugh-O-Gram (1921-1923):Beauty and the Beast: Dinamond Edition (Blu-ray) four of seven laugh-G-Gram shorts are included in the bonus features.
The Other three shorts exists in Disney's vault and have not yet appeared on DVD/Blu-ray. But there was also live-action/animated series produced alternatively which no longer exist.

Note: Surving Alice shorts that are yet to appear on offical Disney DVDs/Blu-ray can be found in hands of various private collectors and on second rate flea markets. Oswald's Poor Papa exists in Disney's vault but has not appeared on any DVD/Blu-Ray. Hungry Hobos has been discovered but unfortunetly not by Disney though.

Have Laugh vol 2 (Clock Cleaners better print)
Davy Crockett Two Movie Collection (Lone Chipmunks) NEWNote 1: No short collection is bought with out a purpose, if better copy exist of an cartoon that don't appear on WDT I buy it, if there is no improvement on individual shorts in terms of quality then I don't buy it, for example No Sail" (1945) is in horrble condition on WDT: Donald vol 2, but better copy can be found on Extreme Adventure Fun.Note 2: Note I don't have any of these 40's/50's commercial produced animated shorts I know some can be found with private collectors and I don't have any of those post 1963-1967 shorts some of them can be found on educational DVDs only, so not sure how I can obtain those, one or 2 are not on DVD at all

Note: Only thing I don't have are external live-action features produced by other studios that contains animation sequence from Disney. + I don't own Marry Poppins its does contain/live-action and animation.

In addition I do have Mr. Magoo (1998) Live-action movie starring Leslie Nielsen, since it contains opening and closing animation, I'm not sure if Disney Studio did the animation on that one or if it was outscored.

Note 1: I don't have many live-action Disney since I'm not admire of live-action Disney films, with expection of those that have animated bits in them and Pirates of Caribbean (I do have 3 first Pirates on DVD and lastest one on Blu-Ray). Getting the rest of those films that have life action bits are not in priority buy for me. Note 2: I'm might plan to get rest of the animated features I don't have. I will proably try to get both aspect ratios of those films produced from 1967-1981 since the aspect ratio of those are disputed as we all known was it 1.37 or 1.66? Note 3:I probably will also get blu-ray copies of those that I only have on DVDs, and are already on Blu-ray. As well as future blu-ray releses.Note 4: I will not give into the 3-D blu-ray just yet. Want see of the 3-D phenomena goes, next few years first. I watched Lion King in 3-D in theaters and was not impressed

Well You asked for it, What I have of those abominations called Disney Sequels:The Return of Jafar (VHS, R2, might want plan DVD upgrade)
Aladdin King of Thieves (VHS, R2, might want plan DVD upgrade if DVD with correct aspect ratio can be found)

Bambi II (DVD, R2, I know it was in theater outside USA but I prefer to handle films like they were in there own country of origin so I don't consider this as theatrical feature film)
Cinderella III: A Twist in Time (DVD, R2)
The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning (DVD, R2)

Note 1: Quite few modern shorts do appear as bonus on some of the DVDs/Blu-Ray above. So listing DVD/Blu-Ray twice wont do, I think we all know what moderns shorts that are not educational and not theme park related, that have not yet appeared on DVD/Blu-Ray. Same can be said about Stright-to-Video shorts they have both appeared with theatrical Features on DVD and Stright-to-Video features on DVD, so list them wont do justice ether.Note 2: If one can find those educational shorts on DVD be warned thay are very expensive since they are not supposed to be for individuals but institutions, you will end up pay 30$ at minimum per short and sometimes one short or 2 shorts per DVD. Note 3: I'm not too keen on buying those adnominations called Disney Sequels

Disney TV animationUnfortunetly I don't have any. I will probably only get those shows that are Duck, Mouse, Gargoyles, feature film related, related at one point though if they are continued to be released. I don't like the idea of half finnished shows so all or nothing for me here. [/quote]

The new 3D editions of Chicken Little, Meet The Robinsons, and Bolt are on my after Christmas list too. I can't wait to own them since I didn't get to watch them in 3D and I've only watched them once. I'm going through a phase right now where I'm very into building my Disney Blu-ray collection.

I'm wondering if Dinosaur will get a 3D release. Would like to get it with a slipcover to match the rest of my Blu-Ray DAC collection.

I should also be getting a copy of The Princess and the Frog in an ironpack soon. That means I'll have all the animated classics that have been released with an ironpack/steelbook/whatever metal casing!

I don't have a written list right now but I've got photos of my collection (click to see full-sized)

Most are German DVDs and Blu-rays but I've also got some imports from UK, USA, Switzerland, and Italy.

Not yet on the picture: Bolt (Blu-ray+DVD), Sleeping Beauty (Blu-ray), Pinocchio (Blu-ray+DVD), Meet the Robinsons (Blu-ray), Nightmare Before Christmas 3D (Blu-ray 3D+Blu-ray).
If you have any question are can't read the names just ask me.
